| Rage is characterized by an unpredictable and primitive display of violence that is out of proportion to the provoking event and often threatens serious self-injury or harm to others. New insight into the pathogenesis of unpredictable violent behavior has been gained largely as a result of neurochemical, neuropsychological and brain imaging studies. This article examines episodic rage from a neuropsychiatric perspective. Three cases illustrating the evaluation and treatment of rage in childhood and adolescence are presented. |
